View labels, usually used as build labels by default, can be extremely useful when you want to label every folder and item
in a particular view.
Open the view to which you want to apply the label.
Choose
View > Labels.
The
Labels
dialog box opens.
Click
New.
The
View Label dialog box opens.
Type a name and description for the label. The maximum name length is 64 characters and the description length is 254 characters.
Select one of the following:
Current Configuration
Attaches the label to the tip revision.
Labeled Configuration
Attaches the label to the revision with a specified label. The labels are in reverse chronological order based on the time
at which they were created.
Promotion State Configuration
Attaches the label to the revision currently in a specified promotion state. (Actually, the label is attached to the revision
that has the promotion state's current view label.)
Configuration As Of
Attach the label to the revision that was the tip revision at a specified date and time.
Optionally, check
Use As Build Label to update each change request that has
Next Build as the setting for its
Addressed In Build property. If this option is not selected, the view label will still be attached to change requests, but the setting of the
Addressed In Build property will not change.
Optionally, to freeze the label so that the revisions attached to it cannot be changed, check
Freeze.
Click
OK.
Note: It is always important to synchronize the dates and times of the computers that run the
StarTeam clients and the
StarTeam Server. However, if they are not synchronized and you select the current time as a label's configuration, the label may not be immediately
visible.
